HANDLE FOR METALLIC VESSELS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 412,763, dated otober15, 1889.

Application filed Jul 29, 1889- a citizen of the UnitedStates ofAmerica, re-

siding at Norway, in the county of Oxford and State of Maine, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Handles for MetallicVessels, of which the following, is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in handles for sheet-metalware,'such as washboilers, &c.; and it consists in securing on the underedge of the ordinary sheet-metal handle a handle of wood, which servesas a non-conductor for the heat "and at the same time prevents cuttingthe hand when the articl'es are weighty.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved handle attached to ametallic vessel. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal-central section. Fig. 3 is aView showing the hand-piece partly slid on the metal. Fig. 4 is avertical section.

A designates a sheet-metal blank, having its edges formed with beads 1 2to strengthen or stiffen the handle. On the lower edge of this metalblank is arranged a wooden handpiece B, consisting of a piece of woodformed to conveniently be grasped by the hand, and having a centrallongitudinal hole 3 through it. From this hole leading to the surface ofthe hand-piece is a slit 4. After the metal blank is Serial No. 318,998.(No model.)

formed the wooden hand-piece is slipped on it by inserting one end ofthe metal blankin the slit of the Wooden hand-piece with the bead in thecentral hole thereof. The metal blank may then be bent down at the ends,substantially as shown, and the ends formed to be secured to the surfaceof the vessel, as usual. The bent parts of the metal handle prevent thehand-piece from endwise movement, and the handpiece is held in itsrelation to the metal part by the bead. Additional fastening may beprovided by a pin 5, project-ed through the parts.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 1s-

The handle for metallic vessels herein described, consisting of a metalhandle A, having a bead formed on its lower edge and a wooden hand-pieceB, formed with a central longitudinal hole and a slit leading from thesaid hole to the surface of the hand-piece to hold the bead and 'embracethe body of the metal, substantially as specified.

In Witness whereof I hereunto set my hand in the presence of twoattesting witnesses.
